Photo Grading Standards and Terms Used

Issued by news agencies (such as Acme, NEA, International News, Associated Press, UPI, Fotogram, Keystone,) only to the press, these Gorgeous pieces capture a historical moment, frozen in time, as they were issued on the day the event happened. Unfortunately they were issued in extremely limited quantities solely for print media industry usage (it is estimated that there were approximately 25 - 50 of EACH particular photograph made). Over the years, many were destroyed or lost, and in some cases, there are only 1 or 2 specimens known to exist today of a particular photograph making these Original! , First Generation Vintage Photographic relics Outstanding Investments.

Beautiful 3 3/4" x 5" full color certificate showing, on the front, the Luna 24 spacecraft that landed on the surface of the moon in 1976, scooped up some soil and returned to earth.
Attached to this certificate is a genuine fragment
of brown fiberglas-type material
from the Luna 24 lander. The fragment measures about 1/8" x 3/8". It landed on the surface of the moon as part of the Luna 24 spacecraft.
Few people know that Russia landed Luna 24 on the moon on August 18, 1976.
On the back of this certificate is some information about the Luna 24 spacecraft and its mission.
The larger piece from which this piece of Luna 24 was taken was originally sold in a Superior Auction Gallery auction in the 1990's. Included with the certificate and fragment is a copy of the original documentation from Superior Galleries.
Also included are copies of the original documentation from Cosmonaut Valery Rozhdestvensky in Russian as well as a translation into English.
This will be the centerpiece of any space collection.
